Frequently Asked Questions About Baclofen Addiction

Baclofen is the generic name of muscle relaxant medications Gablofen and Lioresal. While it is designed to relieve the painful symptoms associated with chronic conditions like multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy, baclofen may also be prescribed to people attempting to overcome addictions to opiates or amphetamines. This can backfire, however, as baclofen has its own abuse potential. Producing a sensation similar to the euphoria felt from being drunk, baclofen can be addictive, especially when the drug is mixed with opioids, alcohol or amphetamines.

If you have been using baclofen or have recently received a prescription for this drug, you likely have several questions about the substance. You might be wondering, “How does baclofen work?” or “Is baclofen a narcotic?” Similarly, if you suspect someone you love is misusing the drug, you might wonder what the red flags or signs of baclofen use are. To find the answers to these questions and more, browse by topic below. Don’t see your question? Call The Recovery Village today at 352.771.2700 to speak to someone who can help.
